1 ScopeThe present document defines a transport protocol for use in the IP multimedia (IM) Core Network (CN) subsystem based on Diameter.

The present document is applicable to:

- The Sh interface between an AS and the HSS.

- The Sh interface between an SCS and the HSS.

Whenever it is possible this document specifies the requirements for this protocol by reference to specifications produced by the IETF within the scope of Diameter. Where this is not possible, extensions to Diameter are defined within this document.

2 ReferencesThe following documents contain provisions, which through reference in this text constitute provisions of the present document.

- References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.

- For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.

- For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.

3.1 DefinitionsRefer to IETF RFC 3588 [4] for the definitions of some terms used in this document.

For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply.

Attribute-Value Pair: see IETF RFC 3588 [4], it corresponds to an Information Element in a Diameter message.

Server: SIP-server.

User data: user profile data.

3.2 AbbreviationsFor the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviations apply:

4 GeneralThe Diameter Base Protocol as specified in IETF RFC 3588 [4] shall apply except as modified by the defined support of the methods and the defined support of the commands and AVPs, result and event codes specified in clause 6 of this specification. Unless otherwise specified, the procedures (including error handling and unrecognised information handling) are unmodified.

3GPP

3GPP TS 29.329 V10.1.0 (2010-09)6Release 10

5 Use of the Diameter base protocolThe same clarifications of section 5 of 3GPP TS 29.229 [6] shall apply to the Sh interface. An exception is that the application identifier for this application is defined in chapter 6.

6 Diameter application for Sh interfaceThis clause specifies a Diameter application that allows a Diameter server and a Diameter client:

- to download and update transparent and non-transparent user data

- to request and send notifications on changes on user data

The Sh interface protocol is defined as an IETF vendor specific Diameter application, where the vendor is 3GPP. The vendor identifier assigned by IANA to 3GPP ( http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers) is 10415.

The Diameter application identifier assigned to the Sh interface application is 16777217 (allocated by IANA).

6.1 Command-Code valuesThis section defines Command-Code values for this Diameter application.

Every command is defined by means of the ABNF syntax (as defined in RFC 2234 [5]), according to the rules in IETF RFC 3588 [4]. Whenever the definition and use of an AVP is not specified in this document, what is stated in 3GPP TS 29.229 [6] shall apply.

The command codes for the Sh interface application are taken from the range allocated by IANA in IETF RFC 3589 [7] as assigned in this specification. For these commands, the Application-ID field shall be set to 16777217 (application identifier of the Sh interface application, allocated by IANA).

The following Command Codes are defined in this specification:

6.2 Result-Code AVP valuesThis section defines new result code values that must be supported by all Diameter implementations that conform to this specification. The result codes defined in 3GPP TS 29.229 [6] are also applicable. When one of the result codes defined here is included in a response, it shall be inside an Experimental-Result AVP and Result-Code AVP shall be absent.

6.2.1 Success

Result codes that fall within the Success category are used to inform a peer that a request has been successfully completed.

No result codes within this category have been defined so far.

6.2.2 Permanent Failures

Errors that fall within the Permanent Failures category are used to inform the peer that the request failed, and should not be attempted again.

6.2.2.1 DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_DATA_NOT_RECOGNIZED (5100)

The data received by the AS is not supported or recognized.

6.2.2.2 DIAMETER_ERROR_OPERATION_NOT_ALLOWED (5101)

The requested operation is not allowed for the user

6.2.2.3 DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_DATA_CANNOT_BE_READ (5102)

The requested user data is not allowed to be read.

6.2.2.4 DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_DATA_CANNOT_BE_MODIFIED (5103)

The requested user data is not allowed to be modified.

6.2.2.5 DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_DATA_CANNOT_BE_NOTIFIED (5104)

The requested user data is not allowed to be notified on changes.

6.2.2.6 DIAMETER_ERROR_TOO_MUCH_DATA (5008)

The size of the data pushed to the receiving entity exceeds its capacity. This error code is defined in 3GPP TS 29.229 [6].

6.2.2.7 DIAMETER_ERROR_TRANSPARENT_DATA OUT_OF_SYNC (5105)

The request to update the repository data at the HSS could not be completed because the requested update is based on an out-of-date version of the repository data. That is, the sequence number in the Sh-Update Request message, does not match with the immediate successor of the associated sequence number stored for that repository data at the HSS. It is also used where an AS tries to create a new set of repository data when the identified repository data already exists in the HSS.

6.2.2.8 DIAMETER_ERROR_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED (5011)

See 3GPP TS 29.229 [6] clause 6.2.2.11.

6.2.2.9 DIAMETER_ERROR_SUBS_DATA_ABSENT (5106)

The Application Server requested to subscribe to changes to Repository Data that is not present in the HSS.

3GPP

3GPP TS 29.329 V10.1.0 (2010-09)12Release 10

6.2.2.10 DIAMETER_ERROR_NO_SUBSCRIPTION_TO_DATA (5107)

The AS received a notification of changes of some information to which it is not subscribed.

6.2.2.11 DIAMETER_ERROR_DSAI_NOT_AVAILABLE (5108)

The Application Server addressed a DSAI not configured in the HSS.

6.2.2.12 DIAMETER_ERROR_IDENTITIES_DONT_MATCH (5002)

See 3GPP TS 29.229 [6]

6.2.3 Transient Failures

Errors that fall within the transient failures category are those used to inform a peer that the request could not be satisfied at the time that it was received. The request may be able to be satisfied in the future.

6.2.3.1 DIAMETER_USER_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE (4100)

The requested user data is not available at this time to satisfy the requested operation.

6.2.3.2 DIAMETER_PRIOR_UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS (4101)

The request to update the repository data at the HSS could not be completed because the related repository data is currently being updated by another entity.

7 Special Requirements

7.1 Version ControlThe version control mechanisms specified in 3GPP TS 29.229 [6] clauses 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 apply to this specification.

The following table of features shall apply to the Sh interface.

Table 7.1.1: Features of feature list 1 used in Sh

Feature bit

Feature M/O Description

0 Notif-Eff M This feature is applicable to the UDR / UDA, SNR / SNA and PNR/PNA command pairs. If both the HSS and the AS support this feature and if multiple subscriptions to notifications are associated with a Public User Identity, the HSS may combine the notifications for multiple Data References and Service Indications into a single notification message. Similarly the User Data Request / Answer will allow multiple data references and Service Indications and Identity Sets. The User Data Answer will be able to combine DataReference items resulting in the User Data Answer contents including a single XML document with the separable XML sections populated.Additionally, this feature allows concurrent subscriptions to different Identity Sets.

1 Update-Eff

O This feature is applicable to the PUR/PUA and PNR/PNA commands. If both the HSS and the AS support this feature, a PUR command where the Data reference type is Repository Data, may contain an XML document with several Repository Data instances. If this PUR command has the effect to generate notifications of the Repository Data changes to another AS, they may be grouped into one PNR command, if this other AS supports Update-Eff feature.The support of Update-Eff feature shall require the support of the Notif-Eff feature.

Feature bit: The order number of the bit within the Supported-Features AVP, e.g. “1”.Feature: A short name that can be used to refer to the bit and to the feature, e.g. “MOM”.M/O: Defines if the implementation of the feature is mandatory (“M”) or optional (“O”). Description: A clear textual description of the feature.

The following table shall apply to the Sh interface; the column Application identifier lists the used application identifiers on Sh and 3GPP.
